Upcoming Classes



Just wanted to share with you some classes coming up that I will be teaching . . . .


The first one is a Stationery Box Class that I'll be teaching on Thursday May 8th at the Paper Niche

  



Here's the Description:
Together we will create this adorable stationary box that you can give to Mom or keep for yourself! Along with the box we will create four cards, four note cards, and four tags. These all fit inside the box along with a dates to remember booklet and stamp holder. Everything you need to keep you organize for gift giving!

Please Bring Basic Tool Kit along with a Score Board/Bone Folder and pop dots




The next class I have coming up is at the Cheeky Chics Expression Getaway





This book can be whatever you want it to be. Art Journal, Day planner, year in review . . .It would make an adorable scrapbook too!

For this class I will be showing you how to alter this canvas cover, we'll take it from drab to fab in no time! I'll show you all kinds of techniques using acrylic paint, sprays, and modeling paste. We will have a "messy" good time! In class we will just be altering the outside cover. But just wait till you see what's on the inside!

This 7x9 Book is packed full of goodies, here's what's included for the inside pages . . . . paper envelope and paper pocket four folders and four photo sleeves (room for 16 - 4" x 6" photos)
two full page plastic sleeves and two business card sleeves (room for 16 standard sized business cards)
One full page bag with zipper and 12 customizable calendar pages
Three check lists and 40 pre-printed cardstock pages
One world map and one US map
One sticker sheet, one foam dot sheet and one ticket sheet



Here's a list of supplies you will need to bring: Basic Tool Kit, heat gun is a must, Apron if you have one, glue dots, glue-n-seal or modge podge, favorite wet adhesive, vintage photo distress ink and broken china distress inks with blending tool.  (the Cheeky Chics store carries Scrappy Glue, Ranger Heat guns, glue dots, Gesso which is  equivalent and in my opinion much better then Modge Podge, and the distress inks that Natasha has listed)

Day Five of the Spring Blog Hop



Day Five . . . Are you tired yet of looking at all these Spring projects? Me neither, I'm loving it! When Bea gave us the rules for this blog hop she said "ANYTHING GOES" as long as its Spring/Easter themed! So this is not made with paper but its definitely Spring/Easter themed! Oh and so yummy!





I can't take full credit for these because I got the idea from The Crafting Chicks Blog they even give you the free tags you can print and cut out! But I love chocolate so I made my nest out of chocolate and butterscotch, when I was adding the chow mein noodles my kids were doubting my sanity, but they quickly changed there minds once they took a bite! Yummy! Oh and instead of molding my nest by hand I used muffin tins, so easy! This is what the girls are getting at work tomorrow . . .  Shhhh don't tell them :)

*Remember, make sure your following my blog, leave a comment and you will be entered into my drawing for a prize or two or three . . . .You can leave a comment every day, once a day so you will have more chances to win!

Happy Blog Hopping . . . Don't forget to stop by the other blogs and see what they have been making!
